Except that’s not what ‘folks’ are saying, is it? It’s easy to make the sceptics on any side of an argument sound deranged. Of course we should be cautious about any private enterprise whose primary purpose is to turn a profit, because - ya know, capitalism. It doesn’t change the fact that a lot of the shite spouted by brother Funk and his ilk is ill informed bullshit.
I’ve got family members who have spent their careers in the pharmaceutical industry. They’re not bad, evil people. I don’t love who they work for, or typically agree with their politics, but the idea that there’s some sort of cabal controlling what happens with new medications is nutsy.
